First, Recycle creates REX files, which combine the sound files with their
placement information, and are thus a very convenient file format.

Also, I find RC's mode of operation much more useful than strip silence, or
manual editing, in Logic. It searches for regions intelligently, you can
turn off cut points, lock cut points, audition them singly, play the whole
loop without redefining you highlights, the list goes on.

If you just need to get a kick and a snare out of a sound file quickly, RC
won't help you much, but I'd say the more complex the slicing, the more use
it is to you
